Software Requirements

At Magora, we are expert at creating clear and comprehensive software requirements
specifications or SRS, which lay the groundwork for the project, describing the requirements,
the features and other elements of the future product. Software requirements specifications
allow the developers to have a bird's eye view on the project and on what they need to do to
achieve the final results. It is like a tutorial that will help you and the developers to make
everything according to the plan and come to the intended purpose as a result without forgetting
anything. Moreover, the SRS often comprises user stories and user cases that are crucial to the
understanding of how the app performs in different circumstances.

UX/UI Design

When designing apps, we focus on user experience because that is what matters for consumers at
the first place when they interact with the app. Without providing a user with a seamless
experience, there are no chances for an app to succeed, as modern consumers are accustomed to
intuitive interfaces, stunning designs and rich functionality. User experience (UX) is the
impression that your app has on a user from the intuitivity of the user interface (UI) to the
number of buttons the user has to clock to perform a certain action and other small details that
may seem irrelevant from the first sight. A great user interface makes the app easy to use, fast
to learn and a pleasure to interact with, so do not mess it up.

Native iOS App Development

iOS app development is a complex process that consists of a number of steps such as selecting the
programming language, Objective-C or Swyft in this case, finding the proper tools and defining the
app’s architecture.

That is why, when choosing the development team, make sure that the candidates are experienced in
utilising Xcode, the Integrated Development Environment used for iOS development, know how to write
clear code in one of the programming languages mentioned above and are familiar with the Apple’s
design guidelines. Objective-C is the primary language for iOS development, although Apple now
actively promotes Swift as an easier version of its predecessor, advising it to all iOS programmers.

Build An IOS App

Now, let us make clear what iOS is, and why it is important for the success of your business.
iOS is a mobile operating system designed exclusively by Apple to power their iPhone
smartphones, iPad tablets and iPod players. iOS is the only system that Apple devices can
officially run. It hold the second place on the list of the most popular mobile platforms after
Google’s Android. iPads, first introduced in 2010, are the second most popular tablets after the
ones powered by Android.

The Features of iOS

The user interface of iOS apps is based on the multi-touch screen of Apple devices, which the
user interacts with. The objects the are used to control user’s manipulations are buttons,
sliders, navigation bars and other elements. As for the gestures most often used, the include
tap, pinch and swipe. iOS and Android apps can also use the hardware features of devices, such
as a compass, a camera or an accelerometer - the latter is used to change the screen
orientation, for example.

iOS consists of four layers hidden to an eye of a non-pro: the core OS, Core Services,
Media and Cocoa Touch. Each year Apple updates its system, releasing a newer version,
the latest being iOS 10, which was released in September, 2016. You can update your
APple devices over the wireless connection or via iTunes, which also serves as a client
for the Apple marketplace, App Store.

According to Apple’s standards, only apps written in Objective-C or Swift that comply
with all the guidelines can be viewed as native apps and published to App Store. Of
course, you can build an app for iOS devices using Java, Adobe Flash or .Net, but they
will not be allowed to the App Store because of the strict restrictions set by Apple. Of
course, since the very first days of the iOS, developers have been looking for ways to
overcome Apple’s restriction and add more functionality to their apps.

One of such tricks is jailbreaking the devices, which was invented primary to make it
possible to bypass the official mechanism of purchasing. Now jailbreaking is done for
different purposes, mainly to get access to the file system and customise the in-built
software. You can even use jailbreaking to install other mobile platforms - yes, you can
even run Android on an iPhone. iOS os a closed system with many restrictions and
limitation, which prompts many users to jailbreak their devices.

Why Do You Need SpringBoard and Touch ID?

SpringBoard is the program responsible for the home screen of iOS devices, displays app icons and
provides a space for users to put the shortcuts to their favorite apps in the bottom of the home screen.
The home screen appears when a user presses the home button, or, in the newer versions of the iOS,
touches it. Due to the huge popularity of jailbreaks that people made to customise themes and
background, Apple introduced this functionality officially. You can set a passcode on your iPhones or
iPad that will give you authorised access to the device, allow you to change system settings or encrypt
the messages. At the beginning, the passcode was four digits long, but it was expanded to six digits
with the introduction of Touch ID, fingerprint scanner, which now everyone can uses instead of typing
the digits.

Android Application Design

Most people in the world use smartphones and tablets powered by Android. It is high time you did
Android app. It maybe harder than iOS app
development, but it is much easier to get the final product to the market because Google does not have
such strict guidelines as Apple. Make sure that the developer knows Java or any other language suitable
for Android development and knows how to work with Android SDK (software development kit).

The Challenges Of Android Development

The major challenge of Android development is an endless amount of Android smartphones and tablets with
different screen sizes and resolutions that you must take into account to make sure your app adjusts to
any given device. Some may ay that Android is not as secure as iOS, but over the recent years Android
security has improved significantly and does not pose ay major threats.
